As a team we haven't ceased to be amazed by the generosity of the people we know and work with and this has culminated today in our target of £1500 getting blown out of the water in less than seven weeks since our Virgin Money Giving Page went live. After discussion with the team and given we've still got some time to go before sponsorship ends, we have raised our target to £2000.
We would like to thank the following recent sponsors that have helped towards smashing our target: Ceirwen and Roger, Marc Fawcett at the Betts Geo Team, Julian Harbottle, Malcolm Hamer (Julian's Dad), Richard Osborn, Anonymous (you know who you are), Richard Swinden, Fell Runner (again!), Chris Haslam, Peter Thorn at Atkins, Karen, Gareth, Sue and Spence (whio hopefully all made it home form Mark's 40th), Orna at the NHBC and Andy Costello and the team at NIC - a big thank you to all of you.
Our donations currently stand at £1742.14 before Gift Aid thanks to the 44 people and companies who have sponsored us so far. You can see how we're doing in the Trailwalker Fundraising Leaderboard here.
Following a recent update from Oxfam, it would appear that we're the only team in Cheshire taking part in this year's Trailwalker - so we definitely need to put up a good show!
With that in mind, we have scheduled the night walk for this coming Wednesday evening after work. The intention is to walk the route Simon and Martin did over the top of Frodsham on a circular route using the Sandstone Trail towards Delamere Forest and back. The planned route is here though this will depend on the weather, how quickly we can navigate in the dark and whether we lose anyone over the edge in the dark.
We'll hopefully report back later in the week (assuming we all survive)
